Atlas FastGear landing gear cranks fast

March 17, 2015

SAF-Holland announces the introduction of its HOLLAND Atlas FastGear landing gear.

With a speed of 1.8 turns per inch of travel in high gear, the HOLLAND Atlas FastGear cranks to the ground faster than other landing gears. The speed that the landing gear is being cranked to the ground is faster by minutes, not seconds. This means fewer minutes spent lowering the landing gear.

Two models are offered:

•Atlas FastGear, weighing 156 pounds, with a 140,000-lb load capacity and a 27,000-lb side-load capacity

•Atlas FastGear HD, weighing 182 pounds, with a 170,000-lb load capacity and a 34,000-lb side-load capacity

The Atlas FastGear comes with SAF-Holland’s standard 10-year NoLube lifetime warranty, covering defects in material and workmanship for as long as a customer owns the trailer.

The NoLube feature uses a sealed grease tube that completely surrounds the elevating screw, coating the screw when the leg is raised or lowered. To prevent poor cranking performance and binding, a FloatingNut protects the elevating screw and threads from damage during excessive side loading. A Twin-Bulkhead is placed above and below the FloatingNut to further increase structural resistance to side-load force when the landing gear leg is fully extended.

The firm offers the Atlas FastGear standard with a RCF removable cushion foot, or an optional low-profile RCF.
